USA Today Bestselling author Brooke O'Brien brings all of the hate-to-love feels in this highly anticipated conclusion to the A Rebels Havoc series. Madden Cole is considered a rock 'n' roll god, and all the women want him. Except for me. After working my butt off as a journalist for years, I've heard the rumors about him and his band and have read all about their dirty scandals in the headlines. When I land a job as a writer for Limelight magazine, I'll stop at nothing to make a good impression. Even if it means agreeing to a sit-down interview with the bad boys of A Rebels Havoc. They're making a name for themselves by soaring to the top of the charts with multiplatinum records and sold-out tours. Madden is cold and closed-off, but the more I get to know him, the more he starts to open up to me. As hard as I've tried to resist wanting him, when he turns on his sweet-talking charm, all the walls I've built around me crumble. They say what goes up must come down, and the band is forced to face the downside of fame. Rumors, lies, and blackmail threaten Madden's life and the career he and the guys have worked so hard to build. He doesn't know about the secret I've been keeping. And I fear when he finds out the truth, it could destroy everything. Author's Note: Madden is a standalone and can be read without reading any other books in the A Rebels Havoc series.

Quigley Tree: A Novel by Linda A Lavid (34 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Quigley Tree drops out of college. At age 23, she's been a complete failure. If she doesn't do something soon, her life will careen into a deep, dark, irrevocable void. Tick Tock. That soon is now. From the publisher: Five-Star Review from Readers' Favorite by Lorraine Cobcroft: Quigley Tree, the protagonist of Linda A. Lavid's novel of the same name, is a young woman with an odd name. A college dropout from a dysfunctional home, and recently escaped from a relationship with a narcissist, Quigley needs to find a new place to live, quickly. A unique idea sets her on a path to find accommodation in a motel in exchange for providing marketing help, but she eventually must admit she has no idea what she is doing. She is a complete mess and has no faith in her ability to do anything useful with her life. Yet a kindly couple takes her on, and, with their help, and the help of an elderly lady she befriends, she begins to reshape her life and overcome her self-destructive attitude. Quirky is the best adjective to describe this work by Linda A. Lavid. Quigley Tree is as quirky as the protagonist's name. Q (as Quigley calls herself) grew on me and won me over. I empathized with her deep feelings of insecurity and her struggle to come to terms with a fractured family and a chaotic childhood. As the story progressed, there were poignant moments, and Lavid presented some interesting perspectives on life. There were also touches of whimsy in this tale of resilience and determination. In classic literary fiction style, Lavid focuses her novel on the character and theme rather than the plot. Quigley Tree, the story, ambles along at a leisurely pace, tracking Q's growth and gradual acceptance of herself and adjustment of her attitude toward her defective mother. Pearls of wisdom are scattered in conversations with her elderly friend, her employers, and the man who eventually wins her affection. The ending tempted me to shed a few tears, touched by Quigley's care for her toddler ...

Although she would occasionally dream of traveling the world, she knew that would never happen without making waves, and she wasn't one to make waves. That was of course until the summer of 1965. In a span of just a few weeks she would experience the love of her life and great tragedy. She would be thrust to the forefront of a struggle that had been simmering since the end of the Civil War a century before.

A kidnapped twin sister. A cross-realm rescue mission. Weak and oddly-specific magic. Will an untested princess defy her doomed destiny? Princess Eloise's life has become dominated by the demands of the Court. The meticulous habits that got her through her days are no match for the disgusting rituals and creepy prophecies dictating her destiny. And the harder she tries to control her path to Future Ruler and Heir, the more she mucks things up. But when her wayward twin sister disappears, Eloise steps way out of her comfort zone to get her back. What she thought would be a quick rescue turns into a whirlwind of realm-crossing chaos fraught with imprisonment, embarrassment, and peril. Yet all of that pales in comparison to the shock she finds when she reaches her destination and nothing, including her sister, is what it seems. Can Eloise discover her inner strength in time to protect her family? The Purple Haze is the witty first instalment of the Western Lands and All That Really Matters epic fantasy series. If you like clever banter, vibrant medieval realms, and sly pop culture nods, you'll be enchanted by Andrew Einspruch's rollicking adventure. Buy The Purple Haze and dive into this fun, fresh fantasy series.

Installing Karma: A Wuxia VRMMO LitRPG (Pay-to-Lose Book 1) by William Dickey (50 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

An action-comedy VRMMO LitRPG with a setting inspired by Wuxia and Xianxia stories and a hero that might have a few screws loose. The early reviews of Karma were insane. Some people emptied their bank accounts to purchase the required VR equipment. Others took the week Karma was set to release off from work. Tim Roberts took things a step further. He hadn't been able to secure one of the coveted slots in the beta, so instead, he started to train IRL. He hunted rats in the sewers, secretly escorted beautiful ladies down the street, chased down purse snatchers and pickpockets, and when the police refused to reward him, he thrust out a hand and shouted, "Fireball." Nothing would stop Tim from seeing his dream of becoming a pro gamer come true. When he first enters the game, Tim is horrified. With experience boosts, loot increases, stat-boosting talismans, overpowered AOE damage scrolls, time-saving fast travel, and instant resurrection, the monetization schemes seem endless. To the wealthy who can afford all these conveniences, the world of Karma is theirs to lord over. To everyone else, it's a struggle to achieve anything. Tim won't be having any of that. Forget pay-to-win. He's going to make all those scumbags pay-to-lose. He's going to give them a taste of karma. What to expect: • The comedy varies from clever to crude and is sometimes outright vulgar so avoid reading if you are oversensitive. • There is a lot of profanity. • There is some of what I'd call borderline sexual content (mostly one scene). Not explicit but not something you'd want a twelve-year-old reading either.

Just as that thought crosses my mind, I hear the back door to the club open and close. I don't want to take my eyes off the men in front of me, but I have to see who just walked out. To assess the new danger. Before turning to look though, I pull out my remaining weapon also hidden in my boot. A silver dagger. It's only really good for killing werewolves, but it can do some damage to other supernaturals too. I give the figures in front of me one last look, they haven't moved at all, and then glance behind me. My breath stops for a moment, and it feels like my heart stops along with it. *** Willow is a witch who hunts down and kills other supernaturals. After the Great Massacre of the Wiccan Community, their population had been decimated. So while they try to rebuild their population and plan their revenge, they take out as many supernaturals as they can. But everything changes for Willow when she meets Keaton, Everett, Aizen, and Devlin. This is a fantasy reverse-harem romance novel.

The Discourse of Conflict: Nonverbal semiotics and discursive practice in Northern Ireland's Troubles 1977-82 by Warren Hately (1 Review)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The Discourse of Conflict focuses on the "prison war" between Republican inmates and their British captors, and the subsequent "dirty" protest and hunger strikes, to deal with two problems central to contemporary philosophy: the unacknowledged bias of structuralist theory towards linguistic signs and the lack of a coherent theorisation of social conflict. To address these conundrums, Hately reconciles Saussurean and Peircean semiotics and then uses Ruthrof's corporeal pragmatics to break from the verbocentric idea of language as a closed system, showing instead that verbal meanings originate from the body, its senses and its imagination, as informed by the deixis of individual communities. With the transformation of linguistic semiotics into corporeality, Foucault's notion of discourse and the neglected category of discursive practice are then reworked to show how statements based on nonverbal signs might function discursively. The culmination of the 1970s Northern Irish prison war in the events of the 1981 hunger strikes offers a study that unites the focus upon nonverbal discourses with the examination of conflict. In exploring the ways in which Republican hunger strikers struggled for legitimacy with the prison authorities, Hately shows how previous notions of conflict, especially Lyotard's différend, are thrown into disrepute by a corporeal perspective recognising the intersemiotic and heterosemiotic character of communication. The availability of diverse semiotic media such as the visual, the haptic, the proximic, etc., offers positions in which conflicts may be regulated without ending in the stalemate Lyotard describes. The division of semio-discursive phenomena into verbal and nonverbal elements, and the tracing of the effects these elements have upon ideational and pragmatic planes of action, also reveal a variety of strategies related to conflict that are superposable upon other instances. As a result, The Discourse of Conflict suggests that the ...

"My time with him often felt like I'd left my body and traveled to the sanctuary of another planet. I was always left void of gravity, speechless, and blessed to have that level of access. When he orbited away, leaving behind residual stardust, I was left confused. Utterly demented, I was trapped inside a delusion that there ever was an us." -- From the poetry accompaniment, Luna "She'd undeniably gotten closer than any woman ever could. So close she triggered a pulse in my heart. So deep, she made it skip beats. So raw, she made me question myself. So pure, I had to sabotage her efforts. I was just trying to put the head in, not invite her into my head. For ten years, I sought to erase her from the sea horse-shaped organ in my head that stored memories. It hadn't worked. She'd wiggled her effect deeper, the same way the moon's energy forces us to face the innate and hidden parts of ourselves. I tossed my hands up in surrender and threw my hat back into love's arena. A man can love many times in his life but only plunges the hilt of its depths a single time. Only one woman inspires such range. I wanted Luna back." Luna and Sincere have a decade-long history of love, misunderstandings, heartache, and pain. This complex story of trauma, grief, inner work, and healing is the third installment of the Miller family series. This is a dark romance with a heavy focus on childhood abuse, grief, and trauma.

A serial killer suddenly returns. After decades of quiet along the isolated Yellowstone Highway in British Columbia, Canada, women are again being abducted. For those who lost loved ones during the original rampage, the trauma and memory of those gone surges to the surface again, welling up out of the buried depths of despair.

Evil is not to be trifled with, the deranged madman sadistically killing and mutilating any men that get in his way, the women disappearing into thin air, a calling card being left to taunt the authorities. Surely, the women have been taken for a reason. They are alive and being held, the authorities believe. What does he want; what game is this monster playing? Everyone knows every game has a conclusion; this one will not end well for the women. The maniac must be stopped. Follow the Canadian and American joint task force, the best and the brightest of each, in their attempt to find the taken before it is too late.

THE 1ST VOYAGE OF SINBAD: The Waters of Zemzem by John Royan (3 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

The Waters of Zemzem shall hold Al-Dajjal until the crownless king born of two hearts comes forth from the darkness out of the west. This mysterious prophecy is at the heart of an origin story of Sinbad the Sailor, a tale of a poor young servant who stayed true to his handicapped brother while battling an evil sorcerer and all the wonders of magic before he went on to become the most celebrated mariner in the history of the world. Six years after a tragedy killed his father and left him alone to care for his blind older brother, Sinbad, 18, works in a shop that sells maps and charts to places all over the world, including destinations of a mythical nature. One day a mysterious prince arrives seeking a chart to the legendary island of Babil, where the magical Waters of Zemzem hold back the evil King of the Jinn. The shopkeeper offers to sell the prince a chart to the island along with the use of one of his servants: Sinbad's brother, Nebu, whom the shopkeeper believes is somehow connected to a famous prophecy about the Waters. But when the shopkeeper demands an exorbitant price, the wicked nobleman kills the shopkeeper, takes the chart, and abducts Nebu, launching Sinbad on a desperate quest to save his brother and stop the prince from unleashing the King of the Jinn. This thrilling retelling of the classic character of Sinbad is the debut novel of award-winning screenwriter, John Royan, a highly engaging page-turner for lovers of myths, legends and fantasy that tells of the amazing first voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. For any adults thinking of giving this book to a younger person, the story contains no explicit language or content. It's tone is adult, but I wrote it with my 12 and 13 year old sons in mind and if it were made into a film it believe it would be rated PG, simply because of some of the deaths caused by the story's mythological creatures.

Fred Chopin is a resident of a homeless shelter in Philadelphia. An unexpected health crisis takes him to the Philadelphia General Hospital where he comes under the care of Dr. Valerie Abrams, a pulmonologist who uncovers a mysterious tattoo on Chopin's body. Abrams convinces Chopin to appear at a medical forum, where he piques the interest of Dr. Richard Ralston, a heart surgeon with a passion for classical music. Questions about Chopin's ancestry unleash an investigation into Fred's past, including his stay at Saint Michael's Orphanage, a shuttered building on the outskirts of Philadelphia with a controversial link to post World War II Germany. As more details emerge, the reticent life of Fred Chopin quickly becomes the focal point of several factions, including the director of the Philadelphia Sinfonietta, the United States Government, and a former wayward classmate expelled from St. Michael's on Chopin's behalf. As events progress, it becomes readily apparent to Dr. Abrams that her window of opportunity to save Chopin's life is rapidly closing. Saving Chopin is a modern day medical examination of Fryderyk Chopin, a Polish composer who died in 1849, the cause of his death still controversial. The storyline intermittently returns to the 19th and 20th century, in an attempt to resolve parallels between the story's main character and the iconic composer. The life and times of Fryderyk Chopin is interwoven throughout the narrative, as is a final diagnosis of his disease process.

#1 BEST SELLER on Amazon! SWEET VICTORIAN ROMANCE ~ Her clumsy coquetry might end up breaking both of their hearts! Having admired him since they were practically children, Nell Caspar is thrilled when Elliott Clyde attends her coming-out ball at Whitehall. Thinking he will finally be able to court her in earnest, she attempts to flirt with him - which regrettably goes utterly awry. Heartsick, she fears he may never want to speak to her again! For years, Elliott has longed to win Nell's affections, but his hopes are dashed when he invites her to dance and she responds in a seemingly less than favourable manner. When he leaves her ball later that evening, he is determined to prove himself worthy of her regard. Upending his entire world, he embarks on a journey across the breadth of England on a quest to become a proper suitor. Not one to sit quietly by, Nell decides that if she truly wants to regain Elliott's attention and endearment, she must cast decorum aside and take action. But where is he? Even when these star-crossed lovers are face to face once more, it seems that roguish rivals, young mischievous relatives, and their own bungled declarations may keep them apart. When will they declare to one another their unwavering devotion, and claim their destiny together? Such Vexing Creatures is the delightful third book in The Whitehall Romance series, though it can be read as a standalone story. If you like charming characters in the Early Victorian Era who engage in playful repartee, then you'll fall in love with A.E. Walnofer's winsome historical drama!
